bojkotiMalbona<a href="https://infosec.exchange/@jerry" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@jerry</a> This seems like a good thread for my security concern.I noticed a “translate” link on my post. Clicked it to see what would be used. Was disturbed to find that it’s <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/DeepL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DeepL</a>. This is a Tor-hostile <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Cloudflare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cloudflare</a> site that misleads people into thinking security is taken seriously. Which is the same thing that happends with libretranslate.com.In principle it’d be most secure to run Argos Translate on the server. But that’s also a heavy process. If translation must be outsourced, I suggest translate.fedilab.app. It’s the same engine as <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/libretranslate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#libretranslate</a>, but without sharing translations with CF.(edit) guess it’s a good time to republish this:❌ <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/GoogleTranslate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GoogleTranslate</a> (<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/PRISM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PRISM</a>) ❌ <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/YandexTranslate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#YandexTranslate</a> [tax(profits) →Putin’s war] ❌ <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/DeepL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DeepL</a> (shares sensitive txt w/tech giant; misleads ppl about it) ❌ <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/LibreTranslate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LibreTranslate</a>.com (shares sensitive txt w/tech giant; no privacy policy; solicits trust w/buzz phrases “libre”, “free & open”) 🤷 <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/lingva" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lingva</a>.ml (FOSS frontend; still Google) 🤷 translate.fedilab.app (no privacy policy but no evidence of mishandling data either)Running locally: ✅ <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ArgosTranslate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ArgosTranslate</a> ✅ <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Apertium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Apertium</a>.org ✅ <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/translatelocally" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#translatelocally</a>.com (EU funded)
